Wellness Committee

The Hammond Central School Wellness Committee is composed of faculty, staff, students and community members who are excited and motivated to promote a healthy environment for our school community.  As a committee and district we understand the importance of personal wellness; physically, socially and emotionally.  We aim to support and build healthy activity and nutrition habits for our school community in the hopes that these fundamentals will stay with our students as they grow and then graduate beyond our walls.
 
Our Wellness Committee works in conjunction with the Health Initiative as a part of the Creating Healthy Schools and Communities Grant to build and sustain a culture of wellness through district wellness policy updates, professional development, regularly assessing student and school community needs and gaining access to grant funded resources.  The Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 requires that a wellness committee be formed at the district level and include representation from our school building.  The committee is responsible for establishing the framework for the content of the local school wellness policies, ensuring stakeholder participation in the development of such policies, and requires the periodic assessment of compliance and reporting on the progress toward achieving the goals of the local school wellness policy.
